The dropouts are probably not made by BJ, just stamped with the name. Could be from GPM or Technociclo.
I had a vague idea that the "Everest/San Rensho" lugs and BB shell was being produced (or copied/knocked off) by one of the big Asian lug makers like Long Shen...but can't find evidence to support that when I went looking. In any case, I'm not sure where the lugs would have been sourced when this frame was built in (around) the mid-90s...maybe they were still cast in Japan, Everest still offers some parts, mainly IC BB shells in over-sized for Mtn. bikes...not sure where in Asia (Taiwan, China or Japan?) they are cast.
And let me add:
Wow, for the bike and
WOW, for the deal!
A Merry Xmas, indeed!!
